Prion diseases are caused by an abnormal form of the prion protein (PrP(Sc)). We identified, with lectins, post-translational modifications of brain proteins due to glycosylation in a Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) patient. The lectin Amaranthus leucocarpus (ALL), specific for mucin type

OBJECTIVE Senescence, progressive deterioration of many bodily functions might be associated with age-dependent alterations of plasma fibronectin (FN) molecular status (i.e., domain, glycotope, and molecular form expressions). METHODS FN molecular status was analyzed in 127 plasma samples of healthy

In this study enzyme activities and lectin binding patterns in skeletal muscle from very old rats were investigated in order to evaluate changes in enzyme activity or carbohydrate expression in senile muscle. Activities for adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), succinic dehydrogenase, non-specific
